So my secret to looking like I tried to dress nicely for the arctic weather and yet not really trying at all is a statement coat. I recently have been on a buying spree for a couple pieces that are both fashionable and warm. This usually results in paying more for the quality because you can rely on the piece lasting for a while. Usually I make sure that it is made with a high percentage of wool and then I look at how long it is to see if I am ok with how much or how little it covers. Lets not forget about the shape though! That is super important especially when you are a petite but still shapely person and clothes that properly fit can be nearly impossible to find! Here are my suggestions for some awesome statement jackets.

I love these for their color, pattern and texture; not to mention how warm the are going to keep you! Hopefully you are staying warm out there because the things I see on the news is screaming the nearing of the apocalypse! Stay safe my friends.
